Hubbard Park Beer Garden - Shorewood

Love that this place is open year-round, can have a beer and hang outside around the fire overlooking the Milwaukee River in the time of COVID. Would love to try the Little dining bubbles they have outside.

We went last night and it was around maybe 15° at 8:00pm. We were kept warm all night. You are even given blankets. The waitress was very good at not opening the door quit often to the dome to keep the heat in. The set up was beautiful and cozy. The menu options were a good variety of appetizers, drinks, and main courses. I recommend the Hot Toddy , ribs, and I loved the bread that came with the chili. All in all it was a great experience after a long work week and I will most definitely be back for brunch.

I have been to this place many times as its nearby but I have never bought anything from them. I have food sensitivities so that is why...but I am writing this to describe the place so you know what to expect if you decide to come. I have also photographed the menu for you. All of the seating is outdoors. There is no indoor seating. During the winter they had a few igloos up that people could use and now they have switched to these big tents that have mesh walls that allows the air to pass through. There are also many rows of picnic tables and there are also benches in the nearby park. So yes, many places for you to sit. This place does seem to be popular from what I have seen. I often see people with drinks and or food. Sometimes this park has concerts but I don't know if they are going to do that this year. The park is very peaceful and near the river. Great sights. Its very scenic. I often sit and relax in the park so I see people walking past with the food drinks they have purchased. The park itself is clean and well cared for. I've seen the park employees do maintenance here often.

This is my least favorite beer garden. Limited beer choices, limited food choices and a seating area that felt confining. The staff was not very inviting as well. Was told upon opening that only beer was available but another patron was told brats were ready. Got a lecture about where to return the empty beer steins. Found the location of the restrooms from the dining room staff who were smoking in the back. Not the type of atmosphere you expect from a beer garden.

We found Hubbard Park Beer Garden by following a man dressed as a pirate. (No joke. Compared to the other beer gardens in the area, it seemed a little more well loved, with some of the broken benches making it hard to find a place to sit. It?s a great spot, with most if not all of the seats under the trees. For being an outside venue, the bathrooms were impeccable (and air conditioned! , which is always appreciated. It also seemed a little more quiet and slower paced than some of the other beer gardens we visited that same day. Overall, a quaint location with great potential for fun gatherings!
